Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very pretty things for bee-keep- 

 ers or honey-sellers to wear on their coat, 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of honey, which might frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



Note. — One bee-keeper writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe that it would be a 

 very good idea for every bee- 

 keeper to wear one [of these 

 buttons], as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask questions about 

 I the busy bee, and many a 

 I conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior opportu- 

 nity to enlighten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees." 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto queen-button that we offer 

 to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 side to fasten it. 



Prices— by mail— I for 6 cts.; 2 for 10 cts.:

^^How to Keep Bees/' a. Botsford comstock. 



A simple book, written in a clear, every-day language, is much to be preferred, even if 

 it does not treat of quite so many little details, which interest only the professional bee- 

 keeper. Such is " How to Keep Bees." written by a gifted author, who made a start in bee- 

 keeping three different times, thus beine afforded the opportunity of personally finding out 

 the difficulties and trials that beset the beginner with bees. It is a book written by an ama- 

 teur to amateurs, so eminently readable, that any one interested in the subject can sit down 

 and devour it clear through, as though it were a modern novel. The print is large, and typo- 

 eraphicaily as well as rhetorically, it is the peer of any such book now on the market. It is 

 bound in cloth, and contains 228 pages. 



There are 20 chapters in the book as follows : 



1. Why Keep Bees? 



2. How to Begrin Bee-Keeping. 



3. The Location and Arrangrement of the Apiary 



4. The Inhahltants of the Hive. 



5. The Industries of the Hive. 



6. The Swarming- of Bees. 



7. How to Keep from Keeping- Too Many Bees. 



8. The Hive and How to Handle It. 

 8. Details Concerning- Honey. 



10. Extracted Honey. 



11. Points About Beeswax. 

 13. Feeding- Bees. 



13. How to Winter Bees. 



14. Rearing- and Introducing Queens. 



15. Robbing in the Apiary. 



16. The Enemies and Diseases of Bees. 



17. The Anatomy of the Honey-Bee. 



18. The Interrelation of Bees and Plants. 



19. Bee-Keepers and Bee-Keeping. 



20. Bee-Hunting. 



There is also a bibliography and index. From a beginner's standpoint it is a complete 

 treatise on bees, and we* can not do better than recommend it. In fact, it should find a 

 place in every bee-keeper's library.

ADVANCED BEE-VEIL 



POSTPAID 



All Cotton 50c; Silk Face, 60c; All Silk, 90c. 



Made of Imported French Tulle Veiling: cord ar- 

 rangement which permits wearer to handle bees in 

 shirt-sleeves with no chance of bees crawling up 

 and under veil. With a hat of fair-size brim to 

 carry veil away from face, you are as secure from 

 stings, movements as free and unrestricted, and as 

 cool and comfortable as you 

 would be at a summer riesort. 



Please send me two naore bee-veils. I have tried 

 all kinds, and yours are best of all.— N.E. France. 

 Plalteville, Wis. 



Editorial Comment in Bee-Keepers' Review:— 

 The Advanced Bee-Veil is something I have 

 worn with great comfort the past few weeks. 

 The peculiar feature of the veil is. the edges are 

 held down lirmly on the shoulders away from 

 the neck. This does away with all chance of 

 stings, and the hot. suffocating, uncomfortable 

 feeling found in other veils that are tucked in 

 close about the neck.— W. Z. Hutchinson.
